New for QFloors Users! 

From its original software launched ten years ago, QFloors has striven to give users the most technologically advanced yet easy-to-use features available to help them gain more control of their overall business operations and add to their profitability.  QFloors Version 5.1 takes users "on the road" with the new QFloors Mobile.

"This is a really cool feature that owners, managers and salespeople will find extremely useful in allowing them to expand the way they do business," said Chad Ogden, QFloors' CEO.  Mobile gives users the ability to operate the QFloors system via a smartphone such as iPhone, BlackBerry and Android. “There are many instances when the owner, manager or salesperson does not have his laptop available, such as a sporting event,” Ogden explained. “With QFloors Mobile you can not only see what’s going on back at the store, you can perform most basic features and functions, meaning you can actually make a sale and schedule the installation without ever setting foot in the store.” Using remote connection software such as Remote Desktop or GoToMyPC, the user can access his desktop back at the store. By simply clicking the QFloors Mobile icon, he can check inventory to see if an item is in stock, add an item to and/or check the invoice and so on. Mobile uses the same familiar QFloors screens, most of which are formatted to fit entirely on the screen (some need minor scrolling down). “Basically the user can do all the things he would normally do when helping a customer or finalizing a sale,” he noted. “QFloors Mobile is built right into Version 5.1 so it is open for our entire customer base to use.”

While a part of the new software, QFloors Mobile is a subscription-based feature that needs to be activated before being functional. The monthly rate is $50 for High Performance customers and $25 for Small Business.

More New Features

Mobile is not the only exciting new feature in Version 5.1. Among the many additions, two of the bigger items are QuickEstimate and Document Manager.

QuickEstimate is, simply put, a quick and easy specialized calculator for the flooring industry that can handle both hard and soft surface measurements. And it can be used on a smartphone via QFloors Mobile.

“With QuickEstimate,” Ogden explained, “the salesperson can leave the store, measure a customer’s home, punch the numbers into the phone and it will show the total square footage needed, and, for carpet, where the cuts should be and the waste.  It even calculates if the cut piece can be used in another part of the installation without jeopardizing the job.”

Though it is not a graphical tool like many stand-alone estimating programs, its ability to quickly and easily tell the consumer exactly how much material she will need is something users will love. On top of that it adds to the overall professional presentation from the salesperson. Because it is a part of QFloors Version 5.1, once the amount and cuts have been determined, the salesman can store it in the QFloors system’s “cut” feature.

Document Manager allows a QFloors user to attach any type of document to the invoice, so that everything related to that job can be connected on one file. Ogden said that, unlike Quick Estimator, it is not yet available through QFloors Mobile.

“The new 5.1,” Ogden said, “will help a retailer broaden his business opportunities and make his staff more professional.  QFloors Mobile frees retailers from being tied to their store and gives them quicker, easier access to the information they need.  In addition, it will really impress the customer because you’ll be doing things that up until now could only be done on a computer.”
